Six years ago, I started the global human connection movement, OhThePeopleYouMeet.

Whether we are discussing the human-wildlife conflict with our local hosts across the continent of Africa, the sustainable food movement in Los Cabos, wellness in Beverly Hills, preserving indigenous culture in Australia or discovering modern applications of Ottoman influence in Turkish art & design — we cover inspiring people doing inspiring things the whole world over. It doesn’t even matter if you ever intend to travel to Rwanda, we hope you at minimum realize you aren’t so different from someone a world away. Maybe you even learn an interesting thing or two.

It has been the greatest privilege to go on so many amazing adventures and meet so many remarkable people. These kind and caring individuals not only welcomed OTPYM into their homes but also into their hearts – a transformative journey that has forever opened our eyes, minds, and hearts to a world full of new possibilities.

When you begin stepping out of your own backyard and into others you begin to realize, sure there are many cross-cultural differences but there is no denying the similarities when you look another person in the eye. At the end of the day, we are all just people looking to connect, be accepted and loved.

The more we travel, the more we realize how much more there is to explore. We’ve only scratched the surface.

So, don’t think of Michaela & OTPYM as your host … rather think of us as your personal curator of local hosts across the globe that are really excited to welcome you to their home.
